Important results from the project
Today´s electronic systems consist of many interconnected integrated circuits, each with high integration of different functions, so-called System-on-Chip (SoC). To enable testing, troubleshooting and configuration, instrumentation is built into circuits according to IEEE standards. In this project, we have implemented a prototype with the goal of demonstrating the interplay between standardization initiatives from system level to circuit level instruments to gain understanding and learning about the interplay between IEEE standards and related security issues.
Expected long term effects
We have focused on the following two problems: (1) How can built-in instruments for testing be reused during operation? (2) How can embedded instruments for test using a test port from IEEE Std. 1149.1 protected from improper access? We have developed prototypes that we implemented on FPGA for problems 1 and 2. For problem 1, we have developed a conference contribution which has been accepted for presentation at the International Test Conference in September. We will also give a presentation to SAAB about the project. We have also joined a consortium that applied for a KDT-JU grant.
Approach and implementation
The project has been carried out through a number of regular digital meetings. We have had 60 meetings with the entire project group to discuss overall issues and we have had 45 meetings to discuss implementation of the prototype.
